Terry the
Traumasaurus is a paramedic dinosaur
whose job it is to help promote the well
being and safety of children in your
community. He is a great spokesman for
EMS in Saskatchewan!
In 1959 the SRA-Saskatchewan Road
Ambulance was created as a non-profit organization to
answer the need for a unified body to represent the ambulance profession
in Saskatchewan. The organization was established to provide guidance,
support and a common voice on behalf of all ambulance services within
Saskatchewan. In later years, the name changed to SAA-Saskatchewan
Ambulance Association.
In May 2000, the Saskatchewan
Ambulance Association merged with the Saskatchewan Emergency Medical
Services Leadership Forum to create the Saskatchewan Emergency
Medical Services Association. Building on the foundation of the
past, SEMSA continues to forge a future for Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) in this province.
Today SEMSA represents 83 out of 109 ambulance services within
the province of Saskatchewan. Our mission today has evolved to play a
large role in the "best practices" for this province. However we remain
grounded to our past providing guidance, support and a common voice on
behalf of all.
